This didn’t seem to occur in Windows, but I’m pretty sure the copy process was also slower so guessing it’s some sort of buffer or heat quirk that 'nix didn’t account for in the more generic driver

If the device says it’s a generic storage device (to the system that is) but actually isn’t (based on your description) then it’s 100% devices fault and not a Linux fault.

This command won’t show the real values when using btrfs. You need to use sudo btrfs filesystem usage <mount point>.

So my TLDR, is that its possible to be a USER without touching the terminal, but I dont think its possible to be an administrator without.

Suse with Yast makes it possible to administer just with GUI. Not 100% sure if it can do absolutely everything possible but it has lots of tools.

Removing a pattern doesn’t unfortunately remove the packages it installs. Only the pattern “package” is removed.

If you taboo a pattern it and the packages it would install will never be installed automatically. I tend to taboo those games patterns.

They are the “patterns” others mentioned.

Sudo is “su do”, i.e. “run as root”

It may default to root but it doesn’t mean run as root. Su means substitute user identity i.e. any other user (if you have the rights to it).

The reason for better performance is that virt-manager (KVM actually under the hood) is a type 1 hypervisor while virtualbox is a type 2 hypervisor.

For a gui to qemu use Virt-manager or gnome boxes.

If I read it correctly the “fuck off” level refers to some proprietary app for the selected login. The other two are standard code app and yubikey.

For now. I’m quite sure that option will disappear at some point in the not too distant future.

It’s updating your desktop so that’s why it does that. The safest way is to log out of your desktop session and login via terminal (press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to one) and run zypper dup.

Install the pam_kwallet package. Then it will automatically unlock on login.

Files in /run will be (re)created (and removed) at runtime if/when needed by programs that need them. They pose no problems and don’t persist between reboots.

I’d say a good rule of thumb for a beginner is not to touch anything outside of their own home directory. Modifying or deleting files in other locations is an easy way to break your system.

Depends on the alternative. E.g. Fedora and OpenSuse have very active communities and lots of help available.

It’s about data harvesting and selling not safety or any other mentioned.

Depends on the engineering field, I have out a few specific examples of highly payed engineering fields that can’t get away from Windows.

Do share what they are.

Like the system is not made for working and barely support it for actual computer work.

Have noticed the same.

One example why windows is bad for a developer. Lets say you work with node.js Eventually you’ll end up with node_modules directory in you project with tens of thousands of files and thousands of directories. If you delete that directory in windows it takes minutes. In Linux it’s instantaneous.
